"Gundam Epyon" from "New Mobile Report Gundam Wing" is commercialized as a completely new RG model! Equipped with a new movable gimmick optimized to swing the beam sword powerfully and naturally! Adopted RG original arrangement with pterosaur motif!

  • The torso can swing on 2 + 1 axes, and the abdomen can be expanded forward to improve compatibility when bending forward.
  • We adopt lock mechanism to hip joint. Both deformation and movement are compatible, and it is possible to swing robustly and widely.
  • A wide range of expressions can be added to poses with the movable axis added to the upper part of the wrist and the movable forearm roll.
  • Shoulder armor deploys, allowing you to raise your arms while keeping your shoulders in position. It also supports powerful poses that raise the beam sword with both hands.
  • Blade follows the movement of the knee and does not interfere with natural kneeling.
  • The wing parts are linked with the movement of the wings. The height of the wings can be adjusted by moving the base shaft.
  • In MA mode, the corners and mouth can be opened to express facial expressions.
  • A pull-out ball movement is built into the shin to realize the movement of the neck. The movable axis of the thigh creates a flexible neck movement like a pterosaur.
  • Advanced MS joint is adopted for the heat rod. Realizes a sharp form like a sword and flexible movement that draws a spiral.
  • The cable that connects the beam sword and the mount latch uses a lead wire.

Question
Does it mean lead as in Pb on the periodic table or lead as in leader?
Answer
lead as in leader
September 5, 2024
In Japanese, the loanword for what we call a "wire" in American English is "lead" (read as in lead-er), which I believe in taken from British English, where it's more common to call power cables "power leads."
December 16, 2024
Think Bandai probably mistranslated 'led' as 'lead'. AFAIK it's your standard mix of PE, PS, and ABS plastic with the tether for the sword being an actual proper wire though it's rigid and can hold its shape

Awesome RG

This gunpla is fantastic. I think I like it more than the RG Tallgeese. Transforming it into flight mode is easy to do. I like the color scheme too. It doesn't have a lot of weapons but that's okay. I never built the MG Epyon so I can't compare it other than the price.

so edgy… so beautiful

The Epyon is in my top 10 for my favorite MS designs of all time, this rendition outdoes the master grade in every way imaginable. the build was fluid, there was plenty of undergating so everything looks flawless, the shield’s tail articulates beautifully, and no stickers are required for the eyes. the design is a perfect blend between the tv version of epyon and the endless waltz redesign, the two shades of red add so much depth to this kit. there are no visible seam lines anywhere. why are you still reading this???? get this now

This is why RG Exists

This is a prime example of a Real Grade kit done right. The build experience is satisfying with several layers of part separation, and the final build is rock solid with great articulation. The joint system of early real grades is gone with the exception of the whip component of the Epyon shield, and it works beautifully here. Lots of under-gating, so even though my nippers were starting to dull, my build came out clean. Great opportunities for panel-lining and detailing. This is a must-build kit!
